Taylor Swift and Harry Styles were only together for a hot minute, but that doesn’t mean stories about them in the press have to stop. Both parties have kept mum about one another since the break-up, but oh well! We’ll still milk this one for all it’s worth, this time by talking to… Harry Styles’ tattoo artist in the US. (First of all, why does he have a US-based tattoo artist and a UK one? Second of all, what’s with all the tattoo talk lately?)

Harry’s LA tattooist and confidant Freddy Negrete has a very different take on the doomed relationship, however. He believes they were never in love.

Freddy, 56, who has spent hours tattooing the One Direction star, 19, in his Hollywood studio, even hints their fling could have been a publicity stunt.

In an exclusive interview he said: “Harry and Taylor didn’t seem in love at all. There wasn’t a sparkle in Harry’s eye.

They were kind and respectful to each other but didn’t have stars in their eyes.

“They seemed more like friends. Harry wasn’t in love and it wasn’t serious for him. They weren’t romantic at all. He was just casual – they weren’t staring into each other’s eyes. Taylor came towards the end of his ship tattoo and sat with him but there was nothing magical going on.”

Well, generally if “magic” is happening, you don’t break up like, two months after you start dating, so this isn’t surprising. Also, way to lose business for yourself, bro. Harry’s never coming back to you since he knows you run your mouth to the press about your clientele. Though I suppose he can relive their memories by tattooing Harry’s face on all the One Direction fans that are going to start pouring in, now. Ugh, enough!

I agree…tattoo artist just blew their relationship….unless Harry put him up to it!!!! It would make Taylor look really fake…writing songs about Harry if they were never dating. It would be a check-mate move on Harry’s part and I bet he’d have compensated the tattoo artist generously for the “testimony”. I’m not saying that’s how it went down…..but anything is possible, right?
